Evangelical Calvinism on Comment Moderation

Unfortunately, to maintain a blog that is going to keep the tone that I’m seeking, I am going to have to enable “comment moderation.” This certainly slows the process of discussion down, but I think in this instance it is the right decision. I will check my blog as frequently as possible, and will either approve or disapprove comments that have been left. My desire is to approve all the comments, and unless I sense something rogue going on, I will approve all comments. If you are not approved, consider your comment “rogue,” and either rephrase your comment in non-rogue ways, or take a hike 🙂 (seriously).

Mine's only on after a week or so passes after the post appears, just so I'm made aware that a comment was made so that I can engage it if I want.If you're curious, incidentally, why that last comment of yours didn't hit the combox, feel free to email me. Suffice to say that John is not the guy (apparently) you think he is.Enjoying this blog, by the way. But also missing the other (I hear enough about Calvinism where I come from ;-).

Hey Bobby, it's been a while. Mainly because I've had a hard time finding where you're blogging :]I wasn't sure what post to put this comment on because it's a suggestion for a future post from you, more than a comment on one of your posts.I think you're making some great points in your posts. It takes me a bit to figure out what your saying, but when I do, I think I like it. One of the things that I'm running across in my reformed circle is a…how do I put this…a focus or stressing of the Law, specifically the ten commandments. Which I feel leads to (or can lead to) an unhealthy self-examination.I was reading some of Heather's (I think that was her name) comments from some of your other posts. I think she's hitting on some cords that are in the same tune that's running through my head. This balance of Justification and Sanctification…Transformation and Participation.So, my question is: How does the Evangelical Calvinist view the law? Maybe you've already answered this in one of your other posts, just point me to it if you have.In Christ,Ten Cent

Chris,Thanks. And I'm actually glad you didn't post my final comment; I was unduly irked, so thank you for being the 'paraklete' in that situation :-). My other blog is dwindling, I have some new commitments, and so my time is very sparse. Yeah, I'm sure Calvinism is a constant theme in your life ;-).Ten Cent,Really good to hear from you!That's a great question. I'm sure I've alluded to that in other posts, but never directly dealt with it. Be on the look-out, I will work on that in the future. My time is running shorter and shorter these days, so it might take a bit before I can get to that, but I will.Thanks for commenting, and feel free to comment, make points, or ask questions whenever you want!

Welcome

My name is Bobby Grow, I run this blog, and "My Book Blog". Feel free to peruse the posts, and I look forward to the interchange.

A Little Thomas Torrance

"God loves you so utterly and completely that he has given himself for you in Jesus Christ his beloved Son, and has thereby pledged his very being as God for your salvation. In Jesus Christ God has actualised his unconditional love for you in your human nature in such a once for all way, that he cannot go back upon it without undoing the Incarnation and the Cross and thereby denying himself. Jesus Christ died for you precisely because you are sinful and utterly unworthy of him, and has thereby already made you his own before and apart from your ever believing in him. He has bound you to himself by his love in a way that he will never let you go, for even if you refuse him and damn yourself in hell his love will never cease. Therefore, repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour." ~T. F. Torrance, "The Mediation of Christ", 94
